Looking at boundaries, relationships, feedback, and constraints before treating one part as the whole problem.

- Quality Is a Sequence of Small ChecksReliable work often comes from placing modest checks at the moments when mistakes are still cheap to correct.Software Craft · Systems Thinking
- A Constraint Can Be UsefulA clear constraint removes weak options and gives a design something solid to respond to.Systems Thinking · Software Craft
- Start with the BoundaryA small boundary sketch can expose more design risk than an early list of classes or files.Systems Thinking · Software Craft
- History Is a Tool for Better QuestionsLooking at how a system arrived can reveal old constraints, rejected paths, and assumptions that its current form hides.History and Context · Systems Thinking · Learning
- Learning from First Principles Without Starting OverFirst-principles learning is not about ignoring existing knowledge; it is about finding the few ideas that explain the rest.Learning · Systems Thinking
- Boundaries Make Software ClearerA system becomes easier to understand when each part has a clear responsibility and a clear way to meet the parts around it.Software Craft · Systems Thinking
